What've you got?

[LordGrover]

What Griff bits have you got in the garage?
My garage has never been the most clutter-free place - filled with freezer, bench, mower, etc. ... the usual. Never any car bits though - until I bought the Griff in January this year ...
What came with the car:

• five space-saver spares,
• two original Griff seats and
• spare crank shaft.

I have since acquired

• differential and
• gearbox.

Does it never end?

Up until the other week I had a whole "spare" Griff

No I don't think it does. When I bought my first TVR I spent 3 days filling my Espace with crap and taking it to the dump so that I had a garage for my p&j.
I now struggle to get it in cos of all the bits and pieces;
Spare exhuast system
spare radiator
spare set of wheels
spare diffs (x2)
2 spare headlights
1 spare wing mirror
spare starter motor
an ever growing collection of empty Mobil1 & antifreeze cans, I seem to get through them quicker than I can dump them.

Just curious Ian, but why would the previous owner want 5 space savers.

Was he just ultra couscous or was it some sort of OCD thing?

[LordGrover]

He said he'd planned to put it on space savers over winter ... I still don't know why though. As you say;

Have not got many spares,but would like a spare Gkn diff to build so less downtime for my car(i am not totally happy with mine),then i can build mine and sell on.

Mine didn't cost that much thankfully, but I've just seen a used one without the centre or hub bolts go for about £165 inc postage.
